The government, in agreement with fire services across the country, has this evening issued an emergency alert to raise awareness of the risk of wildfires with the public. Please do only call 999 if you see a fire unattended or see the signs of a fire.
People can continue to enjoy BBQs at home, provided they are used safely, responsibly and under strict supervision until it has burnt out or been extinguished. Thank you for helping us keep our communities safe.
